Hot Rod

"I'd rather die than live in a world where I can't kick your ass."

This sort of stuff usually isn't my 'type' of humour, but I got through watching this with a few laughs. It wasn't hysterically funny, but I enjoyed watching it.

The story focus's on Rod Kimble, who believes that he is destined to become a superstar stuntman. When his step-dad needs an operation which his family can't afford, Rod and his friends come up with a plan for him to try and set a record of jumping over a number of school busses on a motorbike. This, he hopes, will raise enough money for the operation so that his step-dad is well enough to fight him so that Rod can kill him himself. It's not really all that seriously, just a friendly rivalry.

Andy Samberg was definitely funny, and although some jokes were lame.. he actually made his character a lot more interesting. Isla Fisher was forgettable. Bill Hader was brilliant, as he is in every other movie. Oh, and Will Arnett wasn't half bad for his small role in this. So although some things in this were incredibly lame and stupid, others actually turned out quite funny. See this for yourself, but don't expect anything amazing.
